For out of character discussions and matters to not clutter the gameplay thread.

For some of you, this will be a trip down memory lane. For others, a new adventure. Let's have some fun.
If you need a few NPC renders done, just ask.
Is Ingrid starting in the Keep or coming to it with the rest?
Dotting
Huzzah!! We are underway I look forward to a good time of old school fun.
Ingrid is journeying there like everyone else. She may have been from a few days closer to Ulek, but no one has been at the Keep yet.
those are cool !!
Both images are 7680 X 4320.
And there is a minor difference between the two.
And you can download them if you want.
No response to the sorcerer's request for a bath and a room?
I will update. There is an Inn next store.

I am making a preemptive apology to everyone with whom I am involved in games. My posting for the next month or so will be sporadic. For games I am playing, I will try to check in once a day. For games I am running, there may be gaps of a few days between moves. I ask that folks not give up on me.
This is convention season for me. I am scheduled to attend four conventions in the next month, one as staff. This means a LOT of prep time (as I am running at least three games at each convention, all of which I need to actually write).
Anyway, this is just a heads-up to let you know what is happening. If you must drop me, I understand. I would prefer that if I get behind, you just have my character do what seems logical. Thanks.
Seems like a good time to mention that I'll be out of the country on vacation from the 6th through the 15th. I'll have a laptop with me but am not sure how often I'll have internet so my posting could be interrupted, but i hope not too much.
Links at top of page should work.
One hour per square is the expected travel time.
So its a 3 day trip to the cave as the shortest distance seem to be about 24 squares. I was not aware the distances were so great.
Off by a factor of 3!
Grid squares take 20 minutes each.
Better. Still a hard day's hike to the caves IF we can cut through the woods and take a direct path. Otherwise it'll be two days.
Speeds are for road travel. Off road will add time and danger.
OK map coming up soon.
Is there a map in addition to the spreadsheet. I have to admit to being confused by that spreadsheet, at least viewed on my phone.
Not seeing the map.
I coloured what looks like two pillers on the map so it's easier to find and see the walls of the room
No rectangles/caves at around FA45 and EU111 to correspond to the two openings?
The cell borders are to fine for a good map, you should colour in the walls, and certain things of note so we can see things more clearly
I had the original map cut and paste as a watermark on the spreadsheet subtly shaded in the background, but google docs strips off the watermarks and a phone wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
Maptools is proving somewhat elusive for now. As only holes would be visible, it can do for a start. Maybe i'll thicken the borders some.
I'm not seeing a blessed thing.
I see a blank spreadsheet.
Shift the sheet to EU-45
Entrances are marked with the words entrance and dotted lines for threshold. The beginning of the cave walls are by the left cave. The silhouette of the right caves are outlined even though you have no knowledge of it for context--thanks Ingrid.
FA 39 and EU 111 should be where the two caves are. If you imagine walking in from the middle right of the spreadsheet, you see some trees in the middle of the ravine and two caves to your left and right.
We can set a marching order for two wide and I will put an initiative spoiler in the campaign tab to roll initiative and track marching order.
Was hoping maptools wasn't so finicky with my Java on my PC and the token tool would go better than I have found it to go.
You had Cell borders lining the walls, so I though we could see or went through near those areas.
have you considered using a dungeon style mapmaker screen shotting it and then putting it on photobucket requires you to do the moving and players stating their plotted course but worked pretty good when i ran my falcon's hollow game does take some work but just a suggestion if you wanna give it a try
Ok. I can see it now. Hard to scroll on an iPhone.
I thinking of adding a smaller tactical map for just the immediate area for phone users. The ability to have an entire dungeon map has been useful.
I have looked into Roll20 and maptools, but tokens are annoying right now. I am hoping the Paizo virtual table top does this for all for us soon.
I'll be off my phone and back in the states Saturday.
It is nice to see the scout ahead concept work. In my group as a player, the poor ranger just gets beat up.
It is amusing I switched the standard improved initiative feat for the goblins to something else
They got lucky.
never fails my rolls go to pot, and enemies on fire lol
Ah, sleep, it's a OP spell for the earliest levels.
Hmm. Not sure what you are referring to Ingrid. The sleep spell has not even been cast yet. The three goblins were toppled by Lorcan's color spray.
Sleep is a full round spell, and will go off at the beginning of your next turn, after all the goblins have acted. I believe you can choose to target it then and do not have to stay with your previous choice.
darn it, a good waste of a spell cast.
Two comments to that: 1) since Lorcan acted first, you should have know the effect of the spell before casting your own, so could save it, and 2) there are other goblins on the map that could still potentially be targeted unless the DM us saying we wiped them up. I must admit to not being sure.
Feel free to change action ingrid.
Will be back on Monday, as I am going to Pensacon (Pensacola, FL) for the weekend.
Cool. I am going up to Con Nooga myself. Have fun.
Hey guys I know this sucks but I am going to have to drop the game. I have a bunch of personal stuff going on and new job is pretty killer on top of it I just don't have the time right now to keep up and that isn't fair to the group. My sincere apologies.
Two days to go before we put on CoastCon. This is the big one for me (as I am the Game Room Director). I will try to check in on games I am involved with tomorrow and Thursday, but may not be able to do so. I will not be on at all Friday through Sunday. I should be able to resume normal posting on Monday. Please bot me as necessary.
If you are in one of the games I am running, I ask that you remain patient and we will resume on Monday with a more regular schedule. And, of course, if you are in the Mississippi area, feel free to stop by CoastCon in Biloxi this weekend. We are a sci-fi/fantasy convention in our 37th year and our Gaming Guest of Honor is none other than Mike Brock (our Media Guest of Honor is John de Lancie)!
